1113: C1113 Return to the Stronghold

C1113 Return to the Stronghold

No matter how much the elder tried to save him, the injured one still perished in the end.

Seeing this situation, his eyes filled with tears. He knelt on the ground for a long time, unwilling to get up.

The Elder who had died was his best friend, so it could be said that they shared a tacit understanding of each other. It was because of this that they were able to fight side by side in such a chaotic battle.

After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps not too far behind him. He turned around to see Clan Master Huo Zhengcheng rushing over with a few elders.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Huo Zhengcheng's face changed. He quickly asked, "Elder Wu, what happened to Elder Chen?"

On the way back from escaping from the evil ghost, Huo Zhengcheng met these few clan elders, and immediately brought them to search for the others, which coincidentally happened to be here after a while, and saw the two clan elders.

While talking, Huo Zhengcheng had already arrived beside the two of them, and his expression became even more unsightly, because he could see that the Elder Chen on the ground had clearly perished a long time ago.

Wiping away the tears from the corner of his eyes, Elder Wu immediately recounted the entire incident in full.

When he said that they had surrounded the two injured Elder Song, an elder behind Huo Zhengcheng could not help but ask, "Elder Wu, you and Elder Chen clearly already had the upper hand, how did you let them die, and even let them escape?"

Hearing this, Elder Wu couldn't help but let out a long sigh before speaking again.

"At that time, we really had the upper hand, and Elder Chen even struck the masked man with his palm, but, when Elder Chen took off his mask, he was obviously startled, and did not expect that he would not notice his opponent's sudden attack, and directly struck him in the chest."

"The person on the other side was originally injured, but this strike only caused Elder Chen to be injured a little. It's just that Elder Song, whom I was fighting for my life with, grabbed the opportunity to strike Elder Chen heavily in the chest, killing him."

"Ai, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been negligent, Elder Song would not have gone over to help."

At this point, Elder Wu could not help but lower his head in disappointment.

Hearing Elder Wu's words, Huo Zhengcheng and the others could not help but comfort Elder Wu, telling him not to blame himself, after all, he had already done his best.

After comforting him, an elder then asked, "Elder Wu, why is Elder Chen still in a daze when he took off his mask? Could it be that the person wearing it is someone that he is very familiar with and is very surprising to him?"

Elder Wu shook his head, "That I don't know, in short, when he took off his opponent's mask he was very surprised, to the point where he did not expect his opponent to suddenly strike out with his palm, otherwise Elder Chen would have been fine."

However, since something like this has happened to Elder Chen, I hope that everyone will not show mercy in the future if they meet with this kind of situation. No matter who the other party is, when they need to kill, they must not let the other party retaliate. Huo Zhengcheng said in a serious tone.

"Yes sir!" The others all nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, they returned to the stronghold.

After returning to the stronghold, Huo Zhengcheng naturally immediately went to find Lin Long. After all, the situation before made him very worried.

Lin Long was currently meditating inside a cave. Seeing that Huo Zhengcheng was outside inquiring the Demonic Sect Disciple who was guarding the cave, he immediately opened his eyes and shouted, "Sect Master Huo, please come in."

Huo Zhengcheng hurriedly walked in. Seeing that Lin Long had recovered most of his vitality, the stone in Huo Zhengcheng's heart naturally fell to the ground.

"Lin Gongzi, are you alright?" Huo Zhengcheng asked.

"I'm fine. I just used up too much of my spiritual will to use the demon sword. I should be able to recover after resting for so long." Lin Long smiled slightly.

What he said was the truth, and he wasn't just comforting Huo Zhengcheng.

"That's good." Hearing Lin Long's words, Huo Zhengcheng naturally felt more at ease.

"Sect Leader Huo, what's the situation? Have you captured that evil ghost?" Lin Long asked.

Lin Long had always been inside the cave, so he was not clear about the situation outside.

Huo Zhengcheng could not help but sigh, and then said, "We still let them escape, and we even lost a few people. We are truly ashamed of our Lin Gongzi."

"Oh, that evil ghost is not that easy to deal with. Hence, Sect Leader Huo, you all need not blame yourselves." Lin Long said indifferently, as if he had already known that such a thing would happen.2

"Actually, I truly have a chance to catch that evil ghost. However, it is precisely because my strength is inferior to it." Huo Zhengcheng was upset.

He immediately told her about him catching up to that evil ghost for a fierce battle.

Hearing Huo Zhengcheng's words, Lin Long nodded his head. Although Huo Zhengcheng wasn't able to do anything to that evil ghost in this battle, this way would allow him to have a better understanding of that evil ghost.

Huo Zhengcheng then mentioned the matter where Elder Wu and Elder Chen almost caught each other off guard.

was also surprised to hear that Elder Chen had actually been injured by the other party when he removed the mask. He wanted to know who the masked man was, to the point of causing Elder Chen to be in a daze.

Of course Huo Zhengcheng didn't tell him the answer.

After saying all that, the Huo Zhengcheng who had thought of something hurriedly asked, "Lin Gongzi, how is your devil sword?

That devil sword could be said to be a sharp weapon against those evil spirits. If it was truly damaged, it would be very difficult for them to be that evil ghost's opponent.

"That demon sword is not completely damaged." Lin Long said.

These words caused Huo Zhengcheng to heave a sigh of relief, but the next sentence that came from Lin Long caused the rock that had just been put down in his heart to be lifted once again.

Lin Long said, "That devil sword is not completely damaged, but with the current degree of damage, I'm afraid that it would be destroyed the next time I use it, or even before it is completely activated."

Lin Long's intention was very clear, that was, the next time he would face that evil ghost, the devil sword would be useless.

Hearing Lin Long's words, Huo Zhengcheng could not help but ask anxiously, "Then what do we do?"

From the previous situation, the Black Cloud Four Killing Array wasn't a match for the evil spirit after it fused with the Black Cloud Giant Demon Array. Only the demon sword was a match for the enemy.

"When a ship arrives at the bridge, of course it will be straight. Sect Leader Huo, you don't have to worry. There will always be a way to deal with that evil ghost." Lin Long smiled indifferently.

Seeing that Lin Long did not seem to be worried at all, Sect Leader Huo felt slightly more at ease.

Alright, Sect Leader Huo, you should head back first. Lin Long said.

When Sect Leader Huo left, Lin Long was meditating and pondering in his mind.
